Thank you, Mr. Speaker. (Translation starts) I will be speaking in my language now. If you would all put your earpieces on I will start.
Yesterday, Mr. Kakfwi, our Premier, put two statements...
We talked about how we will work with our children to keep them in school. In this part of the Northwest Territories ... when we took our treaty rights... the way we were to be educated, and to look after our health care, medication, all of these were promised to us.
But as it is, people from this Territory, when they are going to school, they are not always successful. There are some students who go south, but only approximately 50 percent of them succeed.
This money that is supposed to go to our education, I do not think the government is making proper use of it. We wish that we would educate more of our people, but the way I see it, that is not the situation, and many people have mentioned that.
So, for the future, that is why I will ask the question this morning to the Finance Minister about this situation. Thank you. (Translation ends)
